Figures show that employment in professional, scientific and technical services has been growing, with 20,000 jobs in the broad professional sector added in Alabama between January 2011 and July 2016, according to Ijaz.

Interesting.  I was told the only jobs created during Obama's presidency were temporary, part-time and service related.

Again with the parabolic rhetoric...of course some were...now more will be, just not here in California.

What Californians Could Build Using the $64 Billion Bullet Train Budget


California?s High-Speed Rail project fails to justify itself according to any set of rational criteria. Its ridership projections are absurdly inflated, its environmental benefits are overstated if not actually net detriments, and its cost, its staggering cost, $64 billion by the latest estimate, overwhelms anyone with even a remote sense of financial proportions. To make this final point clear, here is an assortment of California infrastructure projects that could be paid for with a $64 billion budget.

If these projects were built, instead of the bullet train, Californians would have abundant, cheap electricity, abundant fresh water, and upgraded roads and freeways capable of handling all the traffic a surging economy could possibly dish out.

"Aerojet Rocketdyne will move or eliminate 1,100 of the 1,400 positions from its facilities in Rancho Cordova to its Huntsville, Alabama, location by the end of 2019, the company announced Monday.

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AJRD) spokesman Glenn Mahone said around 300 positions will remain in the Sacramento region, and those positions will mainly handle administrative functions such as human resources, finance, legal and supply chain management. "We will still be doing work there until the end of 2019," he said.

The announcement marks the end of an era for the once locally based rocket maker. The company has had a major presence in the Sacramento region since the early 1950s, and at its height, during the space race in the 1960s, employed around 20,000 people, Mahone said. The Sacramento region site was the largest of Aerojet's 15 locations nationwide. It is still the third-largest manufacturer and the fourth-largest technology company in the Sacramento region, and the 24th largest employer in Sacramento County."

The exit paths are becoming worn.  I still want to see the headlines of companies moving headquarters to Cali.  I think you would have to go to the 70's archives to find any.  The problems are obvious, as are the fixes...

Tech pipeline to Texas: Tax money, people flow out of Bay Area

Despite being in the heart of Silicon Valley, Vasili Triant couldn?t keep his midsize cloud-computing company, LiveOps Cloud, staffed. Jobs would open, but not enough qualified applicants would apply. Those hired often wouldn?t last a year before being poached by bigger firms that promised higher salaries and more lavish perks.

In September, after more than a decade in the Bay Area, the company relocated its headquarters to a suburb of Austin, Texas ? a move growing common among its peers.

Misguided State Policies Lead To More Companies Leaving California

The list of businesses abandoning California for more hospitable business environments reads like a roll call of top companies. Toyota is in the process of leaving Torrance and will complete the move of its U.S. headquarters to Dallas by the end of 2017. Also having left for Dallas is Jacobs Engineering Group, $6.3 billion firm formerly based in Pasadena that has more than 230 offices across the world, employs 60,000 and generates $12 billion in annual revenue.
Other companies that have left, or are pricing moving van rates, are Nestle (leaving Glendale to reboot its U.S. headquarters in Rosslyn, Va.), Nissan North America (left for Nashville a decade before Carl?s Jr. did), Jamba Juice (traded San Francisco for Frisco, Texas), Occidental Petroleum (prefers Houston over Westwood for its headquarters), Numira Biosciences (Irvine, no ? Salt Lake City, yes) and Omnitracs, a software firm (goodbye San Diego, hello Dallas).
From 2007 through 2015, as many as 9,000 companies have left California, according to Joe Vranich, president of Spectrum Location Solutions in Irvine. And no one should wonder why. Just by simply putting California behind them, these companies are saving 20 percent to 35 percent a year in operating costs, Vranich says.

The gist of every statistic I've seen is that even companies that start here choose to expand elsewhere. (Apple and Tesla).  I would like to see a mature company that chooses to move their HQ into California because its such a great place to do business.  I think you would be hard pressed to find one, Our companies make headlines in other states when they choose to move there.  Where are ours?
 
Calif is overcrowded as it is.

Again, there is nothing to fear... Irvine and most high tech areas in Cali are expanding and growing.

For all those jobs moving out, there are plenty here... can't even build enough houses and apartment complexes in Irvine either.
 
The problem is the tax base not the population.  Our government wants more and more (gas tax) and there are fewer and fewer taxpayers so they just take more and more from those who are left who can pay.  This is not a good trend.

Exactly. Rather than tax benefits, for most workers moving out of state the largest gain in disposable income is due to lower housing costs.

It's not really a question of if but when an upside down pyramid will collapse.

You can't just make the bottom pay more and more and keep piling more layers on the top of the bottom layer.

The NIMBYs up in Sactown need to keep funding the pensions of the gov't workers somehow.  How about you CUT the gov't budget instead of taxing us to death, novel concept, eh?

Says otherwise... it seems only people moving out is the lower income and higher income moving in... which seems like a good trend? the narrative of people leaving California is completely overblown. It's not just orange county either...
http://www.ocregister.com/2017/05/07/california-the-state-where-people-dont-move/

California in general had the lowest exits to population ratio of any state other than Michigan. Net migration was -10,700 in a State of 39 million....
 
Maybe we have hit a turning point, maybe it was a tax too far.

Enraged Californians rebel against Gov. Brown?s massive tax hike on cars and gas

In California, a state known for its love of driving, high-priced gasoline and history of tax revolts, a rebellion is brewing against Gov. Jerry Brown ?s massive gas-and-car tax increase.

In the two weeks since the Democrat signed Senate Bill 1, opponents have launched an initiative drive to repeal the $52.4 billion transportation package as well as a recall campaign to eject a vulnerable Democratic state senator who is seen as the deciding vote for the law.

?The voters are enraged,? said Assemblyman Travis Allen , the Orange County Republican behind the repeal initiative, which is pegged to the November 2018 ballot.

Resist!!

https://spectator.org/revolt-of-the-california-freeloaders/

Jerry Brown?s insult energizes recall of tax-hiking Democratic senator.

When normal people talk about ?freeloaders,? they usually are referring to the assorted welfare dependents, scammers and, yes, public employees who game the system to do as little productive work as possible and receive as many taxpayer-supplied benefits as they can muster. In California, freeloading is an art form, but the term is largely verboten. We don?t want to be accused of insensitivity or other retrograde attitudes, after all.
